Advanced Loot System

Advanced Loot window

The Advanced Looting Feature is a system to handle looting items and money. It was announced at 2014 SOE Live and expected to go live in late March 2015.

“	The new loot system is not tied to an expansion. It will be available for everyone.	”
— Hludwolf, EQ Developer

The loot settings are accessed whenever you kill a creature with loot, from EQ Button > Actions > Advanced Loot, and by typing /advloot in a chat window.

Features

• Adaptive System - Always loot what you want and never show you items you don't want to see. Auto loot and put in inventory.
• Random Rolling
• Master Looter
• Solo, Group & Raids
• Assign master looter in raids

“	It's a snap to get the drops you want while declining the drops you don't need, without having to search through piles of overlapping corpses, or corpses hidden inside a wall. (Hey, it happens sometimes!) The system also elegantly handles group and raid situations with automated rolling or master looter.	”

Guide

From the test server:

• Advanced Looting is enabled by default. You can enable/disable it using /advloot, clicking on the Edit Filters button, and toggling the Use Advanced Looting check box

• /advloot will open the advanced loot window - it will open on its own when things you kill drop items. You can also bind the window to a key or use the EQ button

• The master looter's setting is what determines whether your group or raid uses advanced looting or classic looting

• The master looter's auto-split coin setting will affect coin distribution within your group or raid

• If you are out of range for a kill or out of the zone/dead. You must right click on the corpse to be able to loot items from it. This is signified by a red lock icon overlay. You can make use of the /hidecorpse listed and /hidecorpse listedunlocked to make it easier to do this.
